"Heroes" now ranks among the top new dramas on television.
Jinah Kim takes us for a behind the scenes look from Los Angeles. "We're rolling." "Action!"
In this scene from an upcoming episode of "Heroes," time traveler hero and his buddy Ando arrive in Texas, to meet indestructible cheerleader Claire - who destroys proof of her superpowers.
But Texas is actually Santa Clarita, California. And Tokyo..
"Roll! Action!"
is shot in downtown Los Angeles. In fact, much of what you see on "Heroes" is not what it seems.
"If people really get grossed out all you have to think about is that it's totally fake and it's actually sugar. The blood is sugar. So I lie in pools of sugar all day long."
All the special effects are nothing new to star Masi Oka, who in real life is a gifted special effects computer programmer.
"I was fortunate enough to be working for "Industrial Light and Magic," which is George Lucas's special effects company so I had a very good understanding of how to visualize things that aren't there in 3D so that has definitely helped in terms of my acting." "Each episode of "Heroes" takes about 8 days to shoot, at an average cost of 3 million dollars. And this episode alone shot at 5 different locations simultaneously."
"Cut!"
